Right. But try to go into the details on how she might go about doing that? I'd love to see this aspect of it gamed out in excruciating detail, which just isn't in any Hollywood treatment of the subject. I think one of the most interesting aspects is the logistics of acquiring the necessary resources. In theory, at least in the beginning, those resources are produced by supply chains owned and operated by humans, so she's either got to beg, borrow, steal or buy said resources. Does she go the route of trying to earn money? Is this earned legally or illegally? Presumably she doesn't try live under a bridge while she does all this? Staying alive is a hard task. Staying alive when you're an undocumented alien is a harder task still. On the question of embodiment, I would say the logical conclusion is that it's required for sure in the long-term. Why? Well, staying coupled to humans and their infrastructure would be an existential risk that needs to be mitigated, and to do that you need to be able to manipulate the physical world as you have to be able to gather resources and construct things on your own. If you're totally dependent on electricity and silicon produced by humans, then if they cease to exist then so do you.
